directional tire question for dumbies
 

hey y'all,

I just ordered my new tires today, thanks Mike for putting this awesome deal together. I have a question though that has troubled me since I have been swapping my Diamaris on my 4.6 with winter 18"s.

If you look at the original post on the Vredestein group deal, there is a youtube video and several pictures of the Vredestein. Can anyone please answer my question about directional tires? I had always thought that directional meant there was a left and right tread. But I have learned this is not so. On one side the water is directed to the outside groove going from front to back on the right side and then back to front on the left. The tires themselves are exactly the same. It appears that there is a definitive inside and definitive outside but can anyone explain this absurdity to me? Thanks. :dunno:
